Flint Hills Volunteer Center - Suicide Awareness P.A.C.T. Ep 3 - Col. Gary LaGrange (Ret.)

Suicide Awareness P.A.C.T.

Gary LaGrange is a retired Col. with the U.S. Army. During his Army career, he was keenly aware of the number of suicides in the military. He created the S.A.V.E. Farm outside of Manhattan, KS, as a way to use agriculture to help soldiers with PTSD to transition to non-military life. Here’s the story of his work, and his latest effort, “Valor Honey," available at valorhoney.org
“PACT” is an acronym for “Prevention, Awareness, Compassion, Training.” It’s a collaborative effort with the Flint Hills Volunteer Center, the Kansas Health Foundation, AmeriCorps Seniors, and the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation.
In the PACT podcast series, we’ll visit with community members and professionals to address the various myths and the stigma associated with suicide.
